I'm Hannah B-- a fun & effervescent photographer, voted most likely to become your new bff! I'll teach you exactly how to pose and feel amazing in images, help you plan the perfect timeline or session outfit, go crazy when you find your dream gown, become best friends with your bridal party, document the HECK out of every single happy tear you experience, and finish the evening photographing (+ also dancing) alongside your guests at the reception! Really & truly, I believe that I was put on this earth to just love the heck out of people. I asked the Lord to make me a blessing... & He shaped me into a wedding & portrait photographer. I truly love what I do so stinkin' much and am unapologetically obsessed with the humans I serve!
I dare say I'm most well-known for my sense of humor & long-winded nature: whether it be through ridiculously long Instagram captions, heartfelt texts & emails, storytelling via blog posts, or my knack for striking up conversations with complete strangers. My goal is to always be as helpful as possible and leave the world around me a little brighter than I found it! As a self-diagnosed workaholic & perfectionist, I truly believe I'm great at this career for two reasons: My desire to love & serve others well, and the relentless pursuit to always grow & become better in my work.
For the longest time, I believed I could never love anything more than I loved being a photographer. I was TERRIFIED to have children and joked that I'd just forever be the cool aunt who takes her nieces and nephews to Disney World instead of starting a family of her own. In January of 2022, I gave birth to our first baby and my world has never been the same since. My daughter, Collins, is sunshine in human form, and God surely knew what He was doing when He gave her to us!
On September 26, 2015, I captured a wedding & met the most strikingly-handsome, kind-hearted groomsman: Jesse Bryerton. In the middle of bridal portraits, I secretly gushed to his sister (the bride) about how cute I thought he was! I even joked around asking if Jesse happened to be searching for a wife. Little did I know, I was asking if my future husband was looking for me all along. Moral of the story: Shoot your shot, ladies. You never know when you might out-kick your coverage & wind up convincing them to marry you!
Wholeheartedly, I believe my clients are some of the funniest, kindest, and most downright incredible humans in existence. I'm wildly invested in building genuine connections with the people I serve, & do everything in my power to make them feel supported and loved in life. In 2023, I hosted a summer gala for all my past couples to celebrate their loves stories and simply thank them for believing in this little business. The friendships I have gained are now the driving force behind my entire career!
Don't get it twisted, my favorite fast food will ALWAYS be Chick-fil-A... but one hill I will die on is that McDonald's has the best fountain Coke in the game. I don't know what the secret is, but it's extra bubbly and far superior. While pregnant, I joked that my daughter just might come out with McDonald's Coke running through her veins. It was quite literally the only thing that got me through those excruciating nine months of pregnancy, and for that... I owe it my life.
If you look up the word "selfless" in a dictionary, you will find this woman's picture. Never in my life have I met someone as amazing as Kathy Neckers. She single-handedly transformed my childhood backyard into a venue and made every last wedding dream of mine come true. She supported me for nine months as I endured a VERY unkind pregnancy, and now continues to help raise my daughter as the best memaw in the world! She is my favorite person ever & I would never be where I am today without her constant love and support.
Jesse & I bought our very first home the same year we got married! I always dreamed of having a fixer-upper to make my own, and as it turns out, DIY projects look way more fun on TV. (Most of them are DI-WHYYYYY?!?!... if you know what I mean) Regardless, our little house in my hometown has become one of my favorite places. As a work-from-home mom & business owner, it truly is my happy place!
At this point, I am almost positive I could single-handedly produce a sitcom script with all the ridiculous things that happen to me on a daily basis. A great sense of humor has become my go-to coping mechanism when faced with even the most serious of circumstances. Laughing truly is my favorite form of cardio. (JK, it's my only form of cardio)
Give me all the sunshine, historic cities & scenic coastal views.
Road trips seem great in theory, until you're stuck in traffic for hours.
In the car, kitchen or grocery aisle. If the music is good, this girl dances.
I never claimed it was pretty.
"Only one more episode" at 9 PM turns into five more episodes 'til 1 AM. This is a daily occurrence.
Hate is an understatement. You will never meet less of a morning person in your lifetime. I promise.
Food is my love language. I'd consider eating a hobby... if that was normal.
Disclaimer: It's not that I can't do it. It's that I simply don't like to.
If bargain hunting was an Olympic sport, I'd have more medals than Michael Phelps.
As a child, I always had an emergency fund in a jar under my bed. Dave Ramsey would be proud.
Nothing feels as good as checking every item off your to-do list. Nothing.
"I will be back in fifteen hours, seriously what's the point?" -Me, every morning
I'm one of those November 1st people & gift-giving is my love language. It really is the most wonderful time of year!
Snow is the bane of my existence. Everything would be fine if it simply stopped snowing in January. Not May.
Just like you've found your once-in-a-lifetime person, I want to be your once-in-a-lifetime photographer! I want you to look at my photographs and think, "holy MOLY this is IT!" (As you dance around in excitement around the kitchen) I want to photograph couples who are fun, joyful & genuine... who aren't afraid to be themselves... who are weird & goofy and so stupidly in love that nothing else matters! So are we a good fit? I would truly LOVE to find out!
